First, download unifont.hex from <http://czyborra.com/unifont/HEADER.html>. Then, convert it with util/unifont2pff.rb. If you invoke this script with no argument, you can a short summary of the usage. Let's say, you store the font in unifont.pff, then the command is "ruby util/unifont2pff.rb unifont.hex > unifont.pff". Now you can put this generated file under /boot/grub, and load it by the command "font". You can also specify specific code ranges to unifont2pff.rb, if you need only a subset of supported glyphs. This is necessary if you want to use the ancient technology called "floppy". Honestly, I haven't tried the font manager for a long time. So I won't be surprised even if I hear it is not working well. But last time I tried it (it was not GRUB 2, but PUPA), it worked well and I saw a menu with Japanese titles.
